Well, i got it to work by formatting it with the wrong geometry,
compensating for the 1024 byte disk blocks. It still fails on inquiry's. I
saw there's  some stuff in the kernel about blacklisting drives that don't
like being scanned in a specific manner. But i dont need that, the only
inquiry that is fine is at boot time.
Anyway, I don't see how looping it could help, but i'm probably wrong. Does
that allow me to set different specs like blocksize?

Thanks for your reply, Pieter.
